## GENsone

"sone" — Generate a table with values of the sone function.

## Description

Creates an ftable with values of the sone function for equal power.

## Syntax

    f # time size "sone" start end equalpoint rescale

## Initialization

size -- number of points in the table. Must be a power of 2 or power-of-2 plus 1 (see f statement).

start, end -- first and last value to be stored. The points stored are uniformly spaced between these to the table size.

equalpoint -- the point on the curve when the input and output values are equal.

rescale -- if not zero the table is not rescaled

The table is filled with the function x*POWER(x/eqlp, FL(33.0)/FL(78.0)) for x between the start and end points. This is the Sone loudness curve.

## Examples

Here is an example of the GENsone routine. It uses the files gensone.csd.

Example 1317. An example of the GENsone routine.

    -odac  ;;;realtime audio out

    ; For Non-realtime ouput leave only the line below:
    ; -o gensone.wav -W ;;; for file output any platform
